Description
Except for a brief interest in becoming a veterinarian, (derailed by the unhappy combination of a dog, a porcupine, a pair of pliers and a lot of blood), I pretty much always wanted to keep on being an artist and writer. Luckily for me, it's worked out.
Although I went through school as a fine artist (determined to be artistically pure, though starving), I fortunately was given the chance to illustrate my first children's book shortly after graduation. And I found that I loved the challenge of both enhancing the story-telling power of a book with pictures, and of conveying ideas or concepts without words.
Illustrations can so quickly grasp the reader's imagination--and expand it. So much can be said, at times, with so little. I clearly remember the power certain books held for me as a child. The mood the illustrations created, and the way images gave life to words, made the books seem more real than real life--at least for awhile.
